Tsunade knew very well that Shizune’s talent was already quite good.
Many Medical Ninjas often need to spend several days, or even weeks, to stabilize their first attempt at the nature transformation of Yang Release.
Yet Sosuke… managed it almost the very next second after hearing the explanation.
This speed could only be described as terrifying.
“It seems the bloodline of the Senju Clan is indeed fully manifested in you.”
Tsunade leaned back against the sofa, her tone filled with emotion.
Sosuke looked up at her.
Tsunade shook the water bottle in her hand and continued:
“Our Senju Clan has been famous for two things since the Sengoku era.”
She held up two fair, slender fingers.
“First, is our massive amount of Chakra, and abnormal talent in Yang release.”
“Second, is the ability to master countless powerful Ninjutsu; Taijutsu, Genjutsu, and Ninjutsu—the variety is vast.”
Sosuke listened quietly.
That was correct.
In fact, the Senju Clan wasn’t just powerful in terms of Chakra volume; their heritage of Ninjutsu was equally astonishing.
Sosuke was pondering in his mind.
Tsunade looked at the ball of green Chakra still lingering in Sosuke’s palm.
“Medical Ninjutsu requires extremely high control over Chakra.
The fact that you successfully condensed Yang Release Chakra on your first attempt shows that your talent for Yang Release is outstanding.”
“In this regard, you have perfectly inherited the genes of the Senju Clan.”
“So that’s how it is…”
Shizune blinked.
Although she felt a bit disappointed, her gaze toward Sosuke was filled more with admiration.
Her family, actually, was not weak either.
Her uncle had passed away prematurely, but during his lifetime, he had carved out a formidable reputation, relying on the S-rank Ninjutsu, the “Spirit Transformation Technique.”
As the only surviving orphan, Shizune had naturally inherited this Ninjutsu, but it was simply too difficult to learn.
“Is that so?”
Sosuke rubbed his chin.
It seemed that beyond his traits, his own natural aptitude wasn’t bad either.
Being of mixed heritage was a matter of luck.
If you were lucky, you combined the strengths of both sides; if you were average, you were just an ordinary person, and it was even possible to combine the weaknesses of both sides.
But in the Ninja World, this was essentially walking the path of gene atavism.
The source of all Bloodline Limits is only one existence: the Ōtsutsuki!
“Tsunade-nee, when will you teach me the next Medical Ninjutsu?”
Sosuke asked.
“Learning it doesn’t mean you’ve mastered it. Find the original chapter at g.com.
Wait until you can use it proficiently before talking about that.”
Tsunade shook her head.
This little brat really knew how to get ahead of himself.
Seeing this, Sosuke had to let it go.
What Tsunade said made sense; Sosuke planned to practice his existing Ninjutsu more.
Otherwise, if something went wrong on the battlefield, it would be disastrous.
“In a few months, I can take you to Konoha Hospital for an internship.
You can visit Konoha Hospital often when you’re free; there will be some basic training there.”
Tsunade thought about it and said.
Due to her problems, she could only teach Sosuke and Shizune the Ninjutsu and theoretical knowledge.
But for practical operations, other Medical Ninjas would need to step in.
She hadn’t personally performed surgery for a very, very long time.
“Okay, thank you, Tsunade-nee.”
Sosuke immediately thanked her.
This was a rare opportunity.
When you’re out in the world, it’s all about connections and resources.
Ordinary people could also go to Konoha Hospital for training, but they had to grind for seniority; unless one was a genius, they wouldn’t receive prioritized resources.
Once Sosuke got in, he would likely be able to obtain these.
After all, with Tsunade’s status as a Medical Ninja, she was already the top figure in Konoha’s medical field.
…
Early the next morning.
Ninja Academy.
Today’s lesson was still throwing Ninja Tools.
The Chunin instructor stood in front of the many students and said:
“Yesterday we practiced the basic throwing of Shuriken; today we will add Kunai training.”
“Shuriken are superior for being lightweight, suitable for suppression and harassment, while Kunai are heavier, with greater lethality and penetration.
They can also be held in hand and used in close-quarters combat.”
Sosuke listened from below.
There are many types of throwing Ninja Tools for Ninjas; the Ninja Academy mainly teaches the mainstream ones: Kunai, triangular Shuriken, and four-pointed Shuriken.
Besides these, there are many other types, such as the giant Fuma Shuriken, or the special three-pronged Kunai like the one used by Minato Namikaze.
More advanced knowledge involves tying wire to the ring at the end of the Shuriken or Kunai, which allows one to control the trajectory of the Ninja Tool after throwing it, or to retrieve it when necessary.
Some Ninjas skilled in Ninjutsu will also use wire to attach Ninjutsu to the Ninja Tools, creating unexpected effects.
He had already heard all this knowledge from Tsunade.
After training last night, Sosuke discovered that the E-rank trait, Hatake Style Shuriken, also provided bonuses to Kunai.
Today was the second day of official enrollment.
The students only spoke to those they were familiar with; small cliques were formed at this very moment.
Sosuke gripped a Kunai and attempted to throw it at the target in front.
Kakashi watched Sosuke’s movements and felt they were strangely familiar.
Why did he feel like Sosuke’s movements were somewhat like his own?
Must be an illusion, right?
Kakashi shook his head and also began to train.
“Burn, my youth!”
Might Guy began to train actively.
As a civilian Ninja, his energy was especially exuberant.
Although he couldn’t control Chakra well and had very low talent in Ninjutsu and Genjutsu.
His talent in Taijutsu, however, was very high.
“Kakashi, want to spar?”
Might Guy ran up to Kakashi, brimming with excitement.
He had already regarded Kakashi as the target he wanted to challenge.
“No.”
Kakashi flatly refused.
If he were to spar, he actually preferred to spar with Sosuke.
Hearing Kakashi’s refusal, Might Guy wasn’t discouraged but instead planned to start training on his own.
“Kakashi, Guy might become very strong in the future, you know.”
Seeing this, Sosuke stopped his movements and mentioned it.
A kick from Might Guy that nearly kicked the series to its finale…
Sosuke found it hard to imagine how Kakashi would take that move.
The speed of the Gate of Death was so fast that space itself warped.
If Might Guy were given a chance and could land another kick, I’m afraid even Six Paths Madara wouldn’t be able to hold up.
“You’ve got a good eye, Sosuke!”
Hearing Sosuke’s words, Might Guy’s favorability increased immediately.
After yesterday’s self-introduction, he remembered Sosuke’s name.
Might Guy gave Sosuke a thumbs-up, revealing two rows of pearly white teeth.
[Detected collectible trait: Perseverance]
[E-rank trait: Perseverance]
[Effect: You are more likely to enter a state of focus when practicing any technique.]
‘Focus, huh…’
Sosuke looked at the trait he had suddenly collected, guessing it was dropped by Might Guy.
